Felicia Gay

Felicia Gay has been appointed as a curatorial fellow at the MacKenzie Art Gallery in Regina.  The position is a cross-appointment with the University of Regina and runs until April 2021.

Gay is of Swampy Cree and Scottish (Gordon Clan) heritage and brings a thoughtful lens of Indigenous worldviews and counter-narratives to contemporary curation.

She was the founding artistic director of the Red Shift Gallery in Saskatoon, alongside co-founder Joi Arcand, and was most recently the curator at the Wanuskewin Galleries.

During the fellowship, Gay will work on multiple exhibitions and projects at the MacKenzie. She will contribute to a joint conference organized by the Aboriginal Curatorial Collective and the Initiative for Indigenous Futures that will be hosted by the MacKenzie and the Sâkêwêwak First Nations Artists’ Collective in June.
